Dead Space 2: Four Fascinating Facts

Nothing says ‘Christmas’ than having your arm bitten off by a hoard of undead babies in a space-church, so congratulations to EA for releasing the Dead Space 2 demo this week. Here are four top facts about the upcoming space horror.
- There are over 20 fake ‘brands’ within the game which can be seen on billboards and adverts throughout the Sprawl. They include “Levitations” the telekinetic bed company, “Lemon Gun” the refreshing drink, and upcoming movie “The Clogger”. Most of these fake adverts are in-jokes from the production team, the aforementioned ‘Clogger’ movie was inspired by a very unfortunate event in the men’s room at Visceral.
- Isaac’s helmet now folds down and is made of over 40 separate pieces, and if you look really closely you should be able to spot two small robotic arms pull the helmet apart. In the previous game Isaac kept his helmet on at all times and the only time you could see he face was at the very start and the very end.
- Are you proud of your Dead Space 1 platinum trophy? Do you know every single air vent in which lurks a Necromorph? Well your melon sized brain will be of no use in Dead Space 2 as the Necromorphs can now spawn from random points. If you die and replay a section you may find that the monster that previously burst through the ceiling and chewed your head off now erupts from a side vent and proceeds to nibble your buttocks.
- Isaac has been traumatised by the events of Dead Space 1 and the artefact continues to fill his mind with disturbing images. If you look very closely amongst these flashes of gore and violence you may just see parts of a goat as the art department at Visceral purchased a butchered goat and used it for some of the in game graphics. Nom nom nom!
As an aside, what is it with Visceral and undead babies? All three of their games have featured them.

This game is going to make me crap my pants all the time now! Random monster spawn points – I am not playing this game alone, or at night, or with the lights off, and maybe without the surround sound!
Great developments for this game, it’s going to be ace!

Makes me want to play the demo again, ahh those babies – took a few tries to get by them. Can’t remember the last time a demo made me nervous.
Is it bad that I can spot 3 authors by their text rather than looking at the by-line? Which word do you think gave this one away?

Well in fairness it was the full phrase ‘nibble your buttocks’ but at ‘nibble’ I scrolled back up to check. The other 2 would be Kovacs & Colossal Blue.

Oh im so looking forward to this! Dead Space was the only game in recent memory i could only play in relatively short bursts (ie. 1 chapter at a time) because my nerves couldnt take any more…

Visceral must be trying to highlight the fact that the undead rarely practice “safe” sex. Its obviously becoming a real problem.

Hmm forgive me for being sceptical but “random points” in computer games usually mean that when walking down a corridor in a game the baddie will jump out of 1 of 3 points so not really that random. But to make it truly random would be unachievable.
